They revealed the existence of PRISM and afterwards published lots of analysis on the Snowden leaks. I believe they were also involved in the Panama Papers and I believe they broke the news about a UK/US black site and…
Cars of all sizes are usually much cheaper outside the US, so I don't think it's a price thing. Maybe just because they don't spend as much time in the car or something?
When Facebook says "users" in claims like these, what they actually mean are accounts. This statistic includes all the multi accounts, fake accounts, spam accounts, and bot accounts. They have been getting sued over the…
To be fair, nobody actually neeeds cruise missles
Yes I'm well aware. What I'm talking about is iMessage doing it's own compression, which is more than what the carrier limit requires, as well as stripping file formatting from images and making them all JPEG. Me and my…
Have you tried sending a picture via iMessage MMS? My wife's iPhone compresses every single picture she sends down to like 32kb and converts it to a JPEG. That's with the setting to compress images to save data turned…
Walls of homes are usually insulated enough to make an IR camera useless unless it's inside the home. It would be good for identifying cracks that heat can seap through though. Surveillance by laser microphones can…
From my brief experience working at a similar company, calling the software they use closed-sourced is a bit of a reach. When I worked there, we almost exclusively used rebranded and slightly modified open…
> cars _save_ _time_ Cars only save time if there aren't very many of them. Look at Northern Virginia, at 3 A.M you can drive 10 miles in 10 minutes because the roads are direct and have high speed limits, but that same…
> One average US citizen produces around 20 tons of CO2 per year. A bus needs 3 of them working full-time. This completely dwarfs the emissions due to fuel use. Are you trying to say that these people wouldn't already…
I think this is supposed to be the last preview version of FFI and the other JEPs from Project Panama, so hopefully we will have them at least but I definitely share a bit of that concern.
Surprisingly, China has lifted some 800 million people from poverty so it does happen. I'm not a communist and wouldn't prefer a communist country but I've gotta give credit where it's due.
There are no examples in the past 40 or 50 years. The country is infested with illegal monopolies. At this point there really aren't any industries left that aren't completely dominated by 3 or 4 massive companies. This…
A tool can't be held accountable and can't infringe on copyright or any other law for that matter. It's more of a product. It seems to me like it's a gray area that's just going to have to be decided in court. Like did…
Right, but what if you commission an artist to create a work similar to an already existing piece of art and the artist decides that the most efficient way to do that is to just place the original piece of art in a…
They are referring to the NSA program known as PRISM that was revealed by documents leaked by Edward Snowden. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants...
This is weird and the low usage thing seems totally incorrect. Pretty much everyone I know who knows about GitHub uses the trending page.
To be fair, supernatural beliefs are fairly common amongst olderish veterans of the IC/DoD because those agencies spent/spend billions and billions of dollars a year on programs for things like that (mind reading,…
My student loan payments will probably be around $1200 a month after I graduate and a studio apartment in my pretty small city is $900 without utilities. I could probably survive on a $35k salary but I'd have to switch…
None of those companies have gone bust though. RCA got purchased and integrated by/into GE, Kodak filed bankruptcy but still exists with a significant number of employees, Tektronix is currently a fortune 500 company,…
